Phase 4 (scaling statewide and including all CPL) is proposed in the 2022-2023 State Budget. Phase 3 (initial scaling statewide for MilCPL and CPL) begins Januand is supported by a $2M legislative appropriation. In 2018, Phase 2 (expansion to IEDRC regional colleges) began as Project #16 of the IEDRC. The MAP project began in 2017 at Norco College and was supported by $250K legislative appropriation for Phase 1 (design and beta test). The goal is to improve equitable access, success, completion, transfer, and career attainment by maximizing MilCPL. The Riverside Community College District is leading the effort to design and deploy the MAP in California’s 116 Community Colleges and beyond. Our Goal is to make it normal and expected for all veterans and active duty service members to receive all the credit they deserve-up to one year of credit in programs leading to high wage jobs and transfer. Articulations may be adopted by other participating colleges, creating an ecosystem designed to maximize military credit for prior learning (MilCPL). Articulations are stored in MAP and offered as college credit to incoming and regional veterans. MAP uses a 4-step approval process to create articulations based on discipline faculty approval. The Military Articulation Platform (MAP) is a cloud-based system that matches college courses to credit recommendations from ACE, NCCRS, and other Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) recommending agencies. A Rand Corporation study estimates that only 1 in 4 veterans believes they receive the college credits they deserve for their military training.
Nevertheless, our veterans often do not receive the credit they deserve. The American Council on Education (ACE) provides college credit recommendations based on analysis of military training. Veterans complete rigorous training and coursework while on active duty. The Military Articulation Platform and MilCPL The mission of the Cohort is to increase equitable access and completion by making it normal and expected for all military (and other) students to receive all the credit they deserve so they can achieve all their educational goals with existing military (or financial aid) benefits.
